Note regarding fault memory Note regarding self-adaptation of mixture formation

The PMS control unit (N3/6) features a fault memory. Faults are recognized and On vehicles fitted with catalytic converter, the lambda control determines the
stored according to the following categories: injection time so exactly that the fuel/air ratio is always lambda 1 in all operating
states (corresponds to 14.7 kg air to 1 kg fuel).
a Fault exists constantly If faults occur as a result of:
a Fault exists for longer than 3 seconds
a Loose contact faults which have occurred 5 times during a journey a ingress of air
a wear or coking of fuel injection valves
The fault memory is erased if the supply voltage for the PMS control unit is

Resetting and re-activating memory of PMS control unit à 11/3).
The stored faults can be read and the test coupling for diagnosis (X11/4) with
ignition "ON" or with "engine running".

Diagnosis - Fault memory

Notes regarding automatic recognition of vehicle version
When the vehicle is used for the first time, the PMS control unit recognizes the
following versions and stores them:
a KAT/without KAT
a Manual/automatic transmission
After replacing the PMS control unit or after installing the PMS control unit from
another vehicle for test purposes, the recognition must be re-activated (see
Resetting and re-activating memory of the PMS control unit à 11/5).
Note regarding automatic recognition of the mechanical end stop of the
closed throttle valve
The mechanical end stop of the closed throttle valve is detected at idling speed by
the idle speed control actuator and stored in the PMS control unit.
After replacing the PMS control unit or the actuator or after disconnecting and
connecting the battery, the mechanical end stop of the throttle valve must be re-
detected and stored (see Resetting and re-activating memory of the PMS control
unit à 11/5).

Reprograming control unit

Preconditionts for programing:

a Battery voltage í min. 11 V
a Road speed signal íV=0
a Engine speed signal ín=0
a Drive position í P/N = 1
a Idle speed contact closed í LLK = 1
(Important: Vehicle must not be moved during programing.)
a Start off vehicle í V => 5 km/h
(Transmission variant is not programed until vehicle moves off.)

In the event of an open-circuit or short-circuit, the system switches over
immediately from the current actual value to a substitute value which is very
close to the actual value. Consequently, a fault cannot be clearly recognized. It
is only possible to read the fault from the fault memory.

Notes on immobilizer

Stage 1
a On model 124 with manual transmission an immobilizer is fitted as standard
as of 03/94 which acts on the pressurized engine control (PEC). The fuel pump
relay and terminal 15 to the PEC control module are interrupted by the immobilizer.
Only terminal 50 to the starter is interruped on all other models. At the start of the
test it must be ensured that the immobilizing functions of the immobilizer are
isolated.
Notes on drive authorization system
Stage 2
a A drive authorization system which intervenes in the PEC control module is
fitted as standard on vehicles as of 1/95 (except model 124).
Stage 2a
a On model 124.060 as of 3/96 the IR DAS control module (N54/1) is installed.
Activation is by the infrared remote control module. The PEC control module
renders the injection system inoperative once the drive authorization system is
activated. This drive authorization system can only be activated and de-activated
by the RCL remote control.
Unlocking and locking the vehicle with the mechanical key has no effect on the
drive authorization system.
Replacing the PEC control module or the RCL control module on a trial basis with
parts from another vehicle is therefore not possible.

Diagnosis code: Bosch control module as of 63/00

Siemens control module as of 67/00

The immobilizer is activated by the RCL control module to the PEC control module.
